The Unified Police Department said Friday it has agreed to pay $1.2 million to a bystander who was shot and wounded by an officer in 2015. The officer shot Dustin Evans in a case of mistaken identity — Officer Cory Tsouras thought Evans was the man who had just fired shots at him moments before, according to police. Tsouras fired six to eight times at Evans, who had pulled his vehicle into a car wash as the real suspect, 34-year-old Jeremy Michael Bowden, had fired at the officer.
